The Superintendent serves as the chief executive officer of the School
Committee. The Superintendent carries out all policies, rules and regulations
established by School Committee. The School Committee expects its Superintendent
to fulfill the role of educational leader in the community. This means the
Superintendent will keep the public informed as to the activities,
achievements, needs and directions of the school system. In so doing the
Superintendent should employ all avenues of communication including the various
media, small group discussions, speeches and other personal appearances. As the
educational chief executive the Superintendent as a matter of routine, should
inform the Committee regularly of new trends in education and their
implications, if any, for the system. The Committee also needs to be kept
informed regarding the school system's performance as compared to other systems
with rationale or explanation.
